The Best Movies of 2006: #4

The Fountain



Story
The film follows three parallel stories, each in their own undefined time period. It follows love, life, time, and many other prominent themes.

Merit
I apologize that the "Story" section for this film is so short, but there is good reason. The story includes so much, it would be hard to describe without giving away some of the film.

The reason this film excels is in its complexity. Hardly any films make the audience think or ponder ideas as heavy as the meaning of existence or cyclical time, but The Fountain manages to do this and more. Because the film follows three different stories using the same characters and some of the same elements in the story, it creates a wonderful and terrifying sense of existence.

The graphics were imaginative and visually extraordinary. The music was fitting for each scene. The acting was remarkable, especially by leading man Hugh Jackman. This film has so much to offer. It is this year's Mulholland Drive: a film that you know is great, but you may have to question "Why?"

The Worst Movies of 2006: #4

Another Gay Movie



Story
American Pie + gay + vulgarity + gay + sex + gay = #4.

Fault
As part of the gay community, it seems to be my duty to see every gay movie that is ever released, even if they're terrible pieces of crap every single time. Another Gay Movie does not disappoint. It has no storyline, which I suppose is fine for a parody-flick. The acting is boring and amateur. There really is nothing in this film that is worth seeing besides some hot guys. If you want hot guys going at it, and I mean going at it, look up "pornography". This film is appealing to the ignorant gay population, which unfortunately is very large. To me, however, it wasn't funny and it wasn't good. It was a waste of time.

While there are three films left (and, trust me, they are worse), please do not see this film under any circumstances. PLEASE. For the love of Jebus.
